| I have had my mustang in the shop 7 times to repair the check fuel cap light. the car has stalled on me several times. sence the last time i had it in the shop my car gets realy bad gas mileage. it has recentlty been giving me a hard time shifting. i have a fear of the car stalling on the freeway or catching fire, beacause of the eletrical problems in the fuel tank. *la | |||
| Owner describes failure as intermiitent loss of engine, shutting off with no warning. sometimes while driving at night all electrical power fails. dealership did a drive and maintenance check. the dealership replaced the wiring harness and returned the vehicle to the owner. now the engine keeps high acceleration with the rpm constantly in the red even with foot off of the accelerator pedal. problem can't be duplicated so the dealership doesn't have an actual fix. please describe details. mr | |||

| Fuel pump had to be replaced after only 6,600 miles. company indicated no recalls, but this seems ridiculous for such low miles. warranty had expired 6 months before. vehicle always had low power. *jb | |||
